Natal Astrology:  The department of Astrology which deals with nativities - the influence of planets and signs upon the life and character of the individual.

Nature Spirits: or Elemental, according to theosophy, have bodies composed of the finer kinds of matter. There are countless hosts of them, divided into seven classes, which allowing for two unmanifested, belong to the ether, air, fire, water, and earth,—the last four being called by the Kabalists, sylphs, salamanders, undines, and gnomes respectively; and at the head of each class is a deva or inferior god. Nature spirits work in unsuspected ways, sometimes lending their aid to human beings in the form of certain faculties, and those in the astral world are engaged in the creation of form out of the matter which the outpouring of the Logos has quickened, hence it is they who form minerals, flowers, and so on. These nature spirits of the astral worlds of course have bodies of astral matter, and they frequently from mischievous or other impulses, change the appearance of these bodies. They are just without the powers of ordinary vision, and many people of more acute vision can see them, while the action of drugs also may make them visible. (See Elementals)

Naturopathy: hhhh

Naturopathic: ("nay-chur-o-PATH-ic") medicine, or naturopathy, is a CAM alternative medical system. Naturopathic medicine proposes that there is a healing power in the body that establishes, maintains, and restores health. Practitioners work with the patient with a goal of supporting this power, through treatments such as nutrition and lifestyle counseling, dietary supplements, medicinal plants, exercise, homeopathy, and treatments from traditional Chinese medicine.

Nazarene Codex: The Scriptures of the Nazarenes and of the Nabotheans also. According to sundry Church Fathers, Jerome and Epiphanius especially, they were heretical teachings, but are in fact one of the numerous Gnostic readings of cosmogony and theogony, which produced a distinct sect.

Near Death Experience: (NDE): jjjjj

Neopaganism: kkkk

Neo-Platonists: A school of philosophy which arose between the second and third century of our era, and was founded by Ammonius Saccas, of Alexandria. The same as the Philaletheians, and the Analogeticists; they were also called Theurgists and by various other names. They were the Theosophists of the early centuries. Neo-Platonism is Platonic philosophy plus ecstasy, divine Raja-Yoga.

New Motor, The: A strange machine constructed in 1854 by John Murray Spear at the instigation of the "Association of Electricizers" one of the bands of spirits by whom he was controlled. It was to derive its motive power from the magnetic store of nature, and was therefore to be as independent of artificial sources of energy as was the human body. The machine was hailed as a god -- the "Physical Saviour of the race," the "New Messiah" -- and a certain lady, in obedience to a vision, went to the High Rock (Lynn, Mass) whereon stood the New Motor, and for two hours suffered "birth pangs" whereby she judged that the essence of her spiritual being was imparted to the machine. At the end of that time it was averred that pulsations were apparent in the motor. A.J. Davis expressed the belief that the design was the work of spirits of a mechanical turn of mind, but was of no practical value. The New Motor was finally smashed by the inhabitants of Randolph (N.Y.) where it had been taken. In all it cost its builder some two thousand dollars.

New Thought: A late 19th century religion which in some of its tenets is akin to Christian Science, or faith-healing. Unlike Christian Science, however, it does not affect entirely to dispense with all material aids, as drugs, the setting of broken bones, and so on. Nor does it give the whole credit for the cure to the imagination of the patient, as does hypnotism. But striking a point midway between the two it gives considerable prominence to the mind in the healing process, while not altogether despising the doctor. The central teaching of New Thought is that thought evolves and unfolds, and our thinking creates our experience of the world. The movement places great emphasis in positive thinking, affirmations, meditation, and prayer.

New Zealand : Maori superstitions. Amidst the mythological personages of New Zealand " the spirits of the dead " ever play a very prominent part, and our chief interest in -noticing the Maoris, lies in the fact, that belief in, and open communion with these spirits, still exist. The priests or " Tohungas" are unmistakably " Mediums," in the modern sense of the term. Sometimes they are born with their gift, and sometimes they are devoted to the priestly office by their parents and acquire their power after the fashion of Eastern ecstatics, by prayer, fasting and contemplation. That good prophets exist amongst the Maoris has been abundantly proved. During the time when Great Britain busied herself in colonizing New Zealand, her officials frequently wrote home, that the Maori would never be conquered wholly; information of the parties sent out to attack them; the very colour of the boats, and the hour when they would arrive; the number of the enemy, and all particulars essential to their safety, being invariably communicated to the tribes beforehand by their prophets or Tohungas.

Nichusch: Prophetic indication. In accordance with the Kabbalstic view that all events and natural happenings have a secret connection, and interact upon one another, it is believed that practically everything can become an object of soothsaying -- the fight of birds, movement of clouds, cries of animals, events happening to man, and so on. Man himself may become Nichusch by saying that if such and such a thing takes place it will be a good or a bad omen.
